Tough choice

"On Aug. 11 - Independence Day - the government was so happy to show off its war vehicles," said Mekombe, speaking at a conference on the EIB's activities held in the Belgian Senate Dec. 2. "This is not what the population expected from the exploitation of oil. They wanted the revenue to be invested in development projects and to help the Chadian population get out of extreme poverty."
